It seems disrespectful of Dennis Taylor to reffer to Neil Robertson and other overseas players by their country of origin, doesn't he realise thatt they have names? Also, why does he rake up losses of fellow commentators in the comentary box? Is this a jealousy because he only won the World champs once (and was lucky to win that one. He's probably just a jealous old Irishman.

I legitimately think he is trying to hide his woeful lack of knowledge about the professional game from the audience at home.

At a previous tournament, Dennis Taylor admitted live over commentary that he didn't fully understand the miss rule, and had to have Steve Davis explain it to him. Embarrassing.

Taylor is a nice guy off the table, but he just doesn't know enough out snooker to commentate on him. He probably is proud of himself that he knows Neil Robertson's nationality. That's probably the only thing he can ever remember about him.

His joking around and golf stories, are further proof of his hiding his lack of knowledge.

I couldn't agree more, especialy when you consider that he seems to get more comentary time than multiple time World champions who show far more respect to players and are considerably more knowledgeable about the game, they are also more informative as to what shot choices are, along witha more modern up to date views on the changes in the chages that the game is undergoing and has undergone. They are the true representatives of the future of the game with no axes to grind.Thank you for providing a real forum for joe public to voice an opinion.
